Cresciano Classics

Cresciano Classics is a quick, immersive tour through the iconic boulders of Cresciano, Switzerland—where smooth granite, razor-edged holds, and steep power problems have shaped generations of climbers. Filmed and edited by Giuliano Cameroni, this mellow feature threads together new ascents and timeless testpieces, moving from Iur and Somnolence through first ascents like Endless River and Great Escape, and finishing on the legendary The Story of Two Worlds. What makes this one worth your nine minutes is the way it captures Cresciano’s special rhythm: patient rehearsal, precise footwork, and explosive commitment when it finally goes. You’ll get a concentrated hit of hard bouldering—8b to 8c—with clean cinematography and a classic-meets-modern ticklist that’s equal parts history lesson and inspiration to go train, travel, and try your own “impossible” line.
